Abstract

This chapter provides a survey on radio frequency identification technology (RFID), especially passive RFID technology, which is recommended and highly used in the industrial environment due to its advantages such as low cost of manufacturing and high read range. The chapter reviews the historic of RFID technology, including frequency bands allowed, mode of communications, and different types of RFID TAGs. Then, there is a description of the methodology of passive RFID TAG design and methods used to match input impedance and miniaturization. At the end, a new contribution in passive RFID TAGs design is presented using miniaturization methods such as integration of split ring resonator theory and meander technique.

History Of Rfid Technology

In the beginning of the 20thcentury, RFID technology has represented an exciting innovation. A Russian physicist Leon Theremin has invented the first RFID device in 1946. RFID is referring to a technology by which digital data encoded in RFID tags or labels are transferred by a reader to database. It is belonging to automated data collection technologies such as barcode and optical character recognition (OCR). The development of RFID systems is related to RFID product marketing that has a direct impact on manufacturing to cover needs to ensure error-free and to invent a various RFID device adapted to customization options (Want, 2006).

The evolution of RFID technology is described as follows:

  • •

    In 40s, RFID technology had appeared during the 2nd war, it had been linked directly to two terms “Radar” and “Radio” to cover military needs to identify the planes flying over British airspaces. Transponders implemented in planes resumed communication with radars. This system is known as identify Friend or Foe (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 1969, first RFID technology patent is filled in the USA by Mario Cardullo for the identification of locomotives by RFID technology (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 70s, from 1969 to 1979 the RFID technology is used only for military applications such as access control to private area (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 80s, appearance of passive tags in identification applications (cattle identification, management of chain supply...etc). In the beginning of the 1969 some European and American company start to sale RFID tags (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 90s, the first standardization of RFID system interoperability and introduction of its miniaturization in one chip by IBM (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 2000, development of various RFID applications due to the miniaturization introduced by IBM (Want, 2006).

  • •

    In 2004, Creation of the MIT Auto-ID center to develop the electronic product code, a global RFID based item identification system, intended to replace the UPC bar code by a new EPC network (Want, 2006).
